Derek Carr, 47 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: who did get some garbage time stats to make it 48 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: seem like he had a good game. We call those 49 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: the guys the stat Vandito when they just like run 50 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: up the stats and you're like, well, wait a minute, 51 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: your team was down by twenty points when it mattered, 52 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: you know, the game, when the game was really in 53 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: the bounds. And then he gets a couple of plays 54 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: on the fourth quarter, a couple of touchdown passes on 55 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, Derek Carr. But anyway, just to wrap 56 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: that up, So I was not on the radio last night. 57 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: My older brother, but the one that lives in the 58 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 1: Big Apple there, stopped in La for one day. I 59 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: had a stopover. He's on his way. He's on a 60 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:18,359 Speaker 1: flight today on Friday here to Vietnam, a family vacation 61 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: with his wife's family, my sister in law, and they're 62 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 1: going to Vietnam. And so I did the Raiders show Thursday, 63 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: taped the TV show. More on that later, and then 64 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: hung out with my brother at one of the iconic restaurants, 65 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: one of my old stopping grounds, Danny El Coyote on Beverly, 66 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: which I used to go to all the time. I 67 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: used to live right next to it in LA It's 68 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: a famous, famous spot in Los Angeles for Mexican food. 69 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: But so I was there hanging out with him, and 70 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: then you know, went home, watched the RAM game, and 71 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 1: then here we are on a Friday, and I don't 72 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: think I got any. 73 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: Sleep last night. I text you as soon as the 74 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 3: Dodger news broke. 75 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. Now you were the one that actually let me 76 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: know Danny that. And this is a massive, massive story 77 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: which everyone I know is gonna be talking about all 78 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: day today. And do we get a jump on it? 79 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: The early bird gets the word. It happened right around 80 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: the time the RAM game ended. It was a late 81 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: night announcement that came down from the baseball insiders. But 82 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: the sweepstakes are over for Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the Japanese phenom, 83 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: the next big thing in baseball. We are told the say, 84 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: young king from Japan is gonna wear Dodger blue Danny 85 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: twelve years. The numbers on this that are coming in. 86 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 1: I saw report said three hundred twenty five million, But 87 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: the Dodgers have to pay another fifty million because of 88 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: the setup with the Japanese players. So they're actually hanging 89 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: out over the next twelve years three point seventy five. 90 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: I have a million, three hundred stick. I have million 91 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: dollars just for Yamamoto. Who better live up to the hype, Danny, 92 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I've seen highlights. The guy 93 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 1: looks great on YouTube videos. But it's a different animal 94 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: in the biglies. But these guys from Japan, My first 95 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: thought is, these guys from Japan have usually been pretty good. 96 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: They've only been a couple that have sucked. Most of 97 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: them that have dominated the Pacific League in Japan have 98 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: been able to dominate the major leagues, and so that 99 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: is encouraging. But the second thought I had, Danny, is 100 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,599 Speaker 1: it is it is on. I mean, we're both Dodger guys, 101 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: but the Dodgers, and I get it if I was 102 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: not a Dodger fan. The Dodgers are dastardly. What they're 103 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: doing here. They is demonical the money that they have 104 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: spent there. They are the villains. The Dodgers are the 105 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 1: evil Empire of baseball. It's wicked. I mean, it's nuts. Yeah, 106 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 1: you're right to be. 107 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 3: The Yankees and now Yankees fans are pissed about this. 108 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: Because he had visited New York and there was a 109 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 3: story that Coveno shared on Thursday Afternoons Covino and Rich 110 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 3: Show that Aaron Boone gifted Yamamoto a jersey and they 111 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 3: were doing everything they could think of to butter this 112 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 3: guy up. I'm gonna go with my homie in La 113 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 3: Me and Otani are going to take over so Cow. 114 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 3: After I texted you, I texted Coveno with a picture 115 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 3: of him in a Dodger jersey that somebody photoshopped, and 116 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 3: Covino's reply was, oh geez, with a mad Emoji face. 117 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: No, this thing's been going on for like a month, 118 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 1: at least a month. We've talked about it, I've done. 119 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: I did a couple of monologues this week because of 120 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: the public courtship, and I was waiting for something to 121 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: happen in baseball, right and Yamamoto and his representation they 122 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 1: were playing foot seat with the Mets and the Yankees, 123 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: as you said, the Red Sox, the Giants, and the Dodgers, 124 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: and I was like, it's one of those things. I 125 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: didn't really expect the Dodgers to get him because they 126 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: had gotten these other guys. But the fact that they did. 127 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: Is just it's it's nuts to me. I mean, especially 128 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: living through different years of Dodger baseball. When Frank McCord 129 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: owned the team, when the O'Malley family owned the team, 130 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 1: it was always built through the minor league system. They 131 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 1: did spend some money in the nineties of that twenties 132 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: plus years ago, and that didn't work out. 133 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 3: That Kevin Brown era was a long time ago. 134 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was when I did Dodger talk and yeah. 135 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 3: Oh I remember, I remember. You were really hard on 136 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: the team at the time because they were middle of 137 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: the pack, but way up high on the payroll department. 138 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 3: And it's funny because Bob Nightingale, he tweeted last night 139 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 3: that the Dodgers have spent more than one point one 140 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 3: billion dollars this winter with the signings of Yamamoto, Otawani 141 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 3: and Glass. Now the other teams in baseball combine nine 142 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 3: hundred million dollars, so the Dodgers have outspent every other 143 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 3: MLB team combined. 144 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, And people were sending me messages like, wow, are 145 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: they doing it well? Are they cheating? You know? Well, no, 146 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: they obviously have deep pockets. And it's a really weird 147 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: time in baseball because the way the cable industry has 148 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: gone and the Bally sports thing. It seems like the Padres, 149 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks, the Mariners, a lot of these teams are 150 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: in a holding pattern because either they lost their cable 151 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: television deal or they're about to lose their cable television 152 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: deal and it's a hot mess, and so they don't 153 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: have the revenue. I mean, the whole system on baseball 154 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: has been built behind television. But the Dodgers, the reason 155 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: they're a super heavyweight is because they own their cable channel. 156 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: It ain't going anywhere. I mean, it's like another twenty 157 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: years of this, and they're guaranteed the revenue, assuming you know, 158 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: the cable television thing continues on. But they're not going 159 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: to lose that revenue. And they the people over there 160 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: with the Dodgers are like, well, okay, we're in the 161 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: thick of things for everything. But the Japanese market, they 162 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: they just think they can make this money back on 163 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: these two guys in Otani and Yamamoto with a belly 164 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 1: full of cash from from the Japanese market and from 165 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: Tokyo and and all that. And I mean that we 166 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: know baseball's from what I've I've never been to Japan, 167 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: but from people tell me it's the most popular sport 168 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: in Japan is baseball. It's not you know, they don't 169 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: have the NFL there. It's baseball, and and there's other 170 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: things that are popular too, but baseball is at the top. So, 171 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,719 Speaker 1: uh it is. You talk about Robber Barron and all that, 172 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: it is, it's great, and it's it's it's great to 173 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: win the offseason. I don't think they give you a 174 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,959 Speaker 1: trophy for that. Maybe maybe they do. I don't know, 175 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: but we'll see what happens. I mean, we don't know 176 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: if these guys. Otani's ever been in a playoff game, 177 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 1: and Yamamoto has never been in a big league game. 178 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: But I want these guys to have that fire in 179 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: their belly when they get to play. And one of 180 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 1: the problems, Danny and you know this watching ball over 181 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: the years, these guys get the big contract and they 182 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: don't necessarily care as much. 183 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 3: Otani doesn't strike me as that sort of guy or player, 184 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 3: and the way he deferred his money was yeah, for 185 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 3: his interests also, but also for the Dodgers to be 186 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 3: able to put guys like this around him, which is awesome. Yeah, 187 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 3: you don't see a lot of American ballplayers, you know, 188 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 3: they want the money right now in their pocket, in 189 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 3: their bank account. 190 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: We don't know about Yama Moto. I'm sure the details. 191 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 1: Maybe they're out now. I haven't seen them. Maybe they'll 192 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 1: come out later today. I would assume, based on the 193 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: taxation in California that Yamamoto, if he's wise, would have 194 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: done the same thing that Otani did. That is just 195 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,599 Speaker 1: I'll defer most of the money. And it's gonna be 196 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: one of these things, Danny, when we're like really old guys. 197 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 1: The Dodgers will be paying one hundred million dollars to 198 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: players not on the team from this this offseason, you know, 199 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: and then a lot of rookie bets all so on. 200 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman. 201 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 3: I wonder if at that point though, a lot of 202 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 3: players will be getting five hundred million dollar contracts and 203 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 3: we'll just think that this is not a lot of money. 204 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, you might be right. And the argument to do 205 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: this is, hey, you know, we'll just get more money. 206 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: It's but I hate to say this, but it's kind 207 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: of what the US government did, Like, well, you know, 208 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: we'll push these things down the road and then eventually 209 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: we'll be okay. And I don't know if you've looked 210 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,439 Speaker 1: at the national debt. I don't want to be a 211 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: gloomy guss here, but that's what the you know, the 212 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: US government's like, ah, we'll push things down the road. 213 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 2: God, that's America. 214 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 3: We started off talking about your Rams. How about when 215 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 3: they showed Otani in attendance at so Far and crowd 216 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 3: went nuts. 217 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: What a kick to the nuts to the Angels that was. 218 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's been playing down the road in 219 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 1: Anaheim and no one gave a rats ass about Otani. 220 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: Where's Dodger blue? All of a sudden he's being you know, 221 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: the the red carpets being rolled out at RAM games 222 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: and it's just hilariu. I mean, the guy's been in 223 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: the market, he's been part of the LA sports scene. 224 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: You know, technically LA, but it's Orange County. And it 225 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: just shows you the dicotomy, the difference between playing for 226 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: a team like the Angels and playing for the Dodgers. 227 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,599 Speaker 1: And yeah, Tani got the heroes welcome. How about my 228 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: I know you're a raider guy, but you got a 229 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: little a little love, give a little love to the Rams. 230 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: You can ram it all day, you can ram it 231 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 1: all night that they got they found two ballplayers. They 232 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: found two ballplayers out of the dumpster fire, like the 233 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: mid rounds of the NFL draft. Kyron Williams is a 234 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,199 Speaker 1: big time running back. He's a top five running back 235 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: in the NFL. 236 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 3: I think you got two really good receivers who kind 237 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 3: of came out of nowhere. 238 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I think you're talking about Robinson, right. Robinson 239 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: was great, but he's bounced around. He's been played with 240 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: Kansas City Hooka Nikua though. I mean, I'm loving pool. 241 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 3: He got hit like a missile, bounced right off of 242 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 3: it when they needed a first down to seal the victory. 243 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: And he trudged forward for that first down after getting 244 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: hit by a missile a rocket. That was an amazing play. 245 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 3: I love watching that guy ball. He's a big receiver, 246 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 3: but he's also fast and shifty. What a combination of 247 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 3: skills that dude has. 248 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I would like to concede that I had 249 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: a take that died. One of my takes died Danny 250 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: from earlier in the year. I was convinced everything I 251 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 1: had heard was Matthew Stafford. His body was broken. I 252 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: thought he wasn't even going to play this season. I thought, well, 253 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: this guy's not going to play. Everything I was told 254 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: from the people that I trust with Stafford was beat up. 255 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 1: The Rams wanted to get rid of him, they were 256 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: ready to trade him, they wanted to eat the contract. 257 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: And right now, Matthew Stafford the last month or so 258 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: has been playing. I don't say that he's not rock 259 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 1: Party because Brock's got better weapons around, but the Rams 260 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: weapons are not that far behind some of the forty 261 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: nine weapons. But I'm a little giddy because they won. 262 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 3: I know I was gonna say, don't get too carried. 263 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: Away, ah, but they did. 264 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, they did exceed expectations. A lot of people counted 265 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 3: your favorite team out before the season even started, and 266 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 3: then a few games in most people are like, yeah, 267 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 3: Rams are underwhelming. They're gonna be under five hundred, and 268 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 3: now look at what's going on, they're probably gonna sneak 269 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 3: their way into the playoffs. 270 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, they won five of six. The loss they 271 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: had was a special teams boner and overtime to the Ravens, 272 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: who supposed the other top team in the AFC, And 273 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: before that they lost to Green Bay. But that's pretty much. 274 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: They gave that game away because they started ripping who 275 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: can't play? I just can't play. They really haven't played 276 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,600 Speaker 1: a bad game where they've had their guys since they 277 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 1: played the Cowboys when they just got torched by Dallas 278 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: back in Week eight. But I throw away the Green 279 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: Bay game because they had no quarterback. They had no 280 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: chance in that game, and they lost close to The 281 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: Rams lost close games to the Steelers. I was at 282 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 1: that game. They had the lead, they blew that, and 283 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: they had a shot with Philadelphia. They didn't show up 284 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: in the second half. So obviously see Apsen Boughts, Kenny 285 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: and nuts and all that. But the Rams are in 286 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: a good spot at eight wins. And this is the 287 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: best kind of years a fan, because you don't expect 288 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: anything and then it turned out to be pretty good. 289 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 3: No, you gotta be happy. And then for me, I'm 290 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 3: also pleased because who would have thunk it? Who would 291 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 3: have thought that Aidan O'Connell would have a better primetime 292 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 3: game than Derek Carr. 293 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, exactly. Derek Carr. What an enigma, you know 294 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: what it is like he's the same guy he was 295 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: with the Raiders. He hadn't change he's the same guy. 296 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: He's going to be that way the rest of his career. 297 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 3: Why does he have so many excuse makers on social media? 298 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's one of life's great mysteries. I can't I 299 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: can't explain it. I mean, I've seen the guy. I know. 300 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: You know, I work with Eddie on the overnights and 301 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 1: Eddie's a Fresno State guy, so he doesn't really want 302 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: to be too critical of Derek Carr. But I mean, 303 00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: these kind of. 304 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 3: Me a nice guy. That's great, But you see with 305 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 3: your own eyes he throws picks fumbles constantly. I mean, 306 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 3: I guess he doesn't have as many interceptions this season 307 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 3: as he did, you know, when he was a Raider, 308 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 3: but still enough to change games for the Saints. And 309 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 3: he's been so inconsistent. One week, like last week, for instance, 310 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 3: what he had three touchdowns and no picks, and the 311 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 3: Saints were like, Yeah, this is the guy we wanted. 312 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 3: But then you know that's not the guy you're gonna 313 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 3: get the following week. 314 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, and you know, any road game hostile environment, 315 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: even the Rams. I'm a Rams fan, it's not a 316 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: very hostile environment. But Derek Carr on the road normally melts. 317 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: It's like putting a sugar cube into water and watching 318 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: it disintegrate. Any pressure situation the guy he plays that 319 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: or cold weather, well yeah, cold weather, hostile environment, pressure situation. 320 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: He's got a terrible record as a road favorite. But hey, 321 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 1: it ain't my problem. The Rams are eight and seven 322 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: and they've got Tommy Cutlets in week seventeen, which, assuming 323 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: they don't just poop the bed, that should be a 324 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: show up and win game to get you to nine wins, 325 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 1: which should be enough to get to the playoffs. But 326 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: they will see me. It's conceivable some other crazy things 327 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: will happen. But either way, I like the Rams. I 328 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: had zero expectations. I was like, well, that's gonna suck 329 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: this year, but they've been pretty good. I had a 330 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: couple other things I wanted to get to, and we'll 331 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 1: get out because I wanted to talk about an interesting 332 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: week on the TV show, dann You know, I can't 333 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: do a podcast without pouring out the TV show. So 334 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 1: Andrea the astrology Lady would say mercury is in retrograde 335 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: because it started out harmlessly. I have a routine. I'm 336 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: a creature of habit, and I normally you know, do 337 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: some manscaping, some trimming, get ready for the show pretty up, 338 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: you know, and all that stuff. Before the taping of 339 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: Benny Versus the Penny, I realize I'm ugly, but I 340 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: try to limit the damage, and so I shave and 341 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: do all that stuff. So I plug the razor in 342 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: per normal, get that razor juiced up to trim my 343 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 1: facial hair, and so do that, and then I go 344 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,199 Speaker 1: back to after about an hour, I go back to 345 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: grab the shaver. It's an electric going to shave my beard, 346 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 1: and I turn it on and there's nothing. And then 347 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: I start shaking it, you know, and I was like, well, 348 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: maybe the plug's wrong. So I plugged in a different, 349 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: different outlet and then I walked away and I came 350 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: back and the thing's not working. Uh, And I kept 351 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: Then I started hitting the thing of a jig and 352 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,640 Speaker 1: that didn't work. And so that was just the warm 353 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 1: up act. I couldn't shave before, and I was like, well, boy, 354 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 1: everything gonna say the horrible. And then after doing the 355 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: radio show Wednesday and the Thursday, you know, I had 356 00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 1: some downtime. Eventually I drive over in a monsoon to 357 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:49,400 Speaker 1: Universal Studios and the broke on News Center, West Coast 358 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: hub of NBC News. That's where we do the show from. 359 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 1: So I park in the Abbott and Costello parking garage, 360 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: her and on. But I realized there's no walk. We 361 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: have to walk outside to get to the building. And 362 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 1: so I'm like, I need an umbrella. So I start 363 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: digging around the car. IF's like, wow, everyone's got an 364 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: umbrella in their car. Couldn't find the umbrella in the malamobile. 365 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: Uh oh im porked. So now I'm like, well, should 366 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: I wait till the rain dies down? And I looked 367 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 1: at my weather app on my phone. I was like, well, 368 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: it says it's going to keep raining. I'm screwed. It's 369 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: just going to keep rain.

As I'm walking 387 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: to the door, I'm thinking, you know, here I am. 388 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm at the peak of my career 389 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,239 Speaker 1: right now.

I actually walked through the underground 395 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: entrance to avoid the overnight security guard, who I know 396 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: a little bit, because I didn't want anyone to see me. 397 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: Even though I was a camera. I was that embarrassed. 398 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: So welcome to the exciting, sexy world of big time 399 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: sports media. What a You know, it never rains in 400 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: La Danny, but when it does rain, you need an umbrella, 401 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: and I didn't have an umbrella. 402 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 3: There were tornado warnings going off at two in the 403 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 3: morning on our phones. 404 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's when I was out about a little bit 405 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: after that, a few hours after that, I was out 406 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: and about.

And you know, it happens the 412 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: La River, which is not really a river, it's just 413 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: you know, it's a concrete thing. And that thing was 414 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: just move. It goes right by. 415 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 3: Universal and yeah, that's a skate park usually. 416 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: So one other thing before we get out, we'll get 417 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: out on this. So it turns out I wasn't the 418 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 1: only person having issues for the TV show this week. 419 00:21:54,119 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 1: My comrade and campadre, Tom Looney. I don't know if 420 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: he wants me to tell this story, but he didn't 421 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: listen to the podcast. Who cares it no matter? So I, 422 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: as I told you, I ran into you know, the 423 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: building there covered in water. So I then had to 424 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: go to a bathroom and drive myself off and change 425 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 1: into my church clothes to go on television in my temple, 426 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: no clothes whatever. So then I'm walking around. I did 427 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: a little prep and I walk into the like I 428 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: don't even know what to call the NBC commissary, but it's 429 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: like they don't break room where they have, you know, 430 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: some food or whatever. So I go over there, there's 431 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: a coffee machine. Looney's over there getting a free moocha 432 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: on the peacock's dime. And he then informs me that 433 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: he had one of his pets had I guess, uh 434 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: cat scratch fever while he was sleeping. He was clawed 435 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 1: in the forehead. Oh no, yeah, yeah yeah, So the 436 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: right side of his forehead I'm standing right in front 437 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: of it looks like Frankenstein, like it believe. But I'm like, 438 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: we have to tape the TV show. The record time 439 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,479 Speaker 1: is in an hour, like less than an hour at 440 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: this point, right because we're both there getting ready, and 441 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: the call time was like half an hour and Looney 442 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: Looney uses his clandestine Uh did I say that rightdys clandestine? Right, 443 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: that's the word I think I'm saying. 444 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: Uh. 445 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: Anyway, he used his knee, I'll use ninja and his 446 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 1: ninja ability. It's early in the morning to slither in 447 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 1: to a back room. He found the NBC makeup depot, 448 00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: which I didn't even We didn't even know where this was. 449 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: I didn't know. He asked somebody who led him this direction, 450 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: and he his forehead by the time he got done. 451 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: You probably can't tell on the TV show, but when 452 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: you watch Betty versus The Penny, let me know. He 453 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,479 Speaker 1: looked in person like a gaudy woman painted in makeup. 454 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 3: You know. 455 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: We both, right, Dad, You know women that just put. 456 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 3: Instead of cake face, he was cake kead. 457 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly, So he just yeah, he had you know, cake. 458 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: It was like frosting on his forehead, like a wedding cake. 459 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 1: And I think he pulled it up because at least 460 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: in the monitors in our studio it looked fine. I 461 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: don't think you know. You might know now because I 462 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: told you, but none of our producers in Boston.
